Over the weekend we visited Torrey Pines and did another gorgeous maternity session with Sarah and her family, couldn't have asked for a better setting and a trooper of a Mama to trek the stairs all the way down to the beach and back up!

For so long I have been wanting to do a Christmas Tree Farm shoot and I finally had the opportunity to with one of my Maternity families this past weekend, it helps that their 2 year old Reese was the best behaved girl I've ever met, who even whispered 'cheeeeese' when she wasn't in the photos haha

In the midst of all the holiday chaos it's nice to fit in a quick family session and check up on one of my sweet newborns from this summer, already 5 months old and darling as ever! Merry Christmas 🎄

I love shooting for FA's because we just get each other, here are my most recent crew babies! Congrats to Brittany de Vore, Paige Harmon and Dana Sanchez welcome to the Alaska family all of you lovely littles! Anyone else want to schedule a newborn session? Let me know! Shooting more = less time in the airplane and more time snuggling babes :)

Sometimes babies are fussy but that just means I spend more time with a baby in my arms, which isn't a bad alternative :) I got lots of time to know Cruz last week when I spent the day down in Mulino with him and Dana Sanchez. This boy has lips for days and a thoughtful pensive gaze. Welcome to the world little one, you are sure loved!

When you're almost 3 and decide that you finally want to participate in family photos and dad suggests you sit down on the floor 😂👌makes for a beautiful cropped photo. This isn't his first rodeo lol. Eric for the win here! Getting to do another session with the Harmon family is so much fun, such an easy crew to photograph and Kinley knows how to make it interesting, bringing all the 'threenager' drama with endless expressions, she sure does love baby brother Nash however ❤️ Lucky little love to have such awesome parents and a doting big sister, welcome to the world little guy!

I am so happy to have been able to document the Miller family's journey over the last couple years from East coast to West; documenting their second pregnancy will be just as much fun as the first since they are adding another girl(!!) Congrats to Riley who will be a big sister before too long! Can't wait to meet this little one :) Sarah Miller

Probably my favorite location I have shot at, on a mountaintop in Laguna Beach, just, wow is all I can say. Perfect sunset, beautiful hills of cactus, flowers and gorgeous ocean. A perfect backdrop for this session with Paige Harmon and her sweet family before they welcome their baby boy next month.

Twice the babies makes for twice the fun, twice the work and twice the love! Thankful for awesome parents Brittany de Vore and Nickolas de Vore for helping make this go smoothly! Look how precious and tiny their babies are!! Love them to death!
